When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, include the following: Do not permit children to use this product. RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuitinterrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI. This unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the pump and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using. This pump is for use with permanent swimming pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. General Warnings Never open the inside of the drive motor enclosure. There is a capacitor bank that holds a 20 VAC charge even when there is no power to the unit. The pump is not submersible. The pump is capable of high flow rates; use caution when installing and programming to limit pumps performance potential with old or questionable equipment. Code requirements for the electrical connection differ from state to state. Install equipment in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Before servicing the pump; switch OFF power to the pump by disconnecting the main circuit to the pump. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) of reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. THIS PUMP SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED ONLY BY A QUALIFIED POOL SERVICE PROFESSIONAL. INSTALLERS, POOL OPERATORS AND OWNERS MUST READ THESE WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THE OWNER S MANUAL BEFORE USING THIS PUMP. THESE WARNINGS AND THE OWNER S MANUAL MUST BE LEFT WITH THE POOL OWNER. SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD: STAY OFF THE MAIN DRAIN AND AWAY FROM ALL SUCTION OUTLETS! THIS PUMP PRODUCES HIGH LEVELS OF SUCTION AND CREATES A STRONG VACUUM AT THE MAIN DRAIN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BODY OF WATER. THIS SUCTION IS SO STRONG THAT IT CAN TRAP ADULTS OR CHILDREN UNDER WATER IF THEY COME IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A DRAIN OR A LOOSE OR BROKEN DRAIN COVER OR GRATE. THE USE OF UNAPPROVED COVERS OR ALLOWING USE OF THE POOL OR SPA WHEN COVERS ARE MISSING, CRACKED OR BROKEN CAN RESULT IN BODY OR LIMB ENTRAPMENT, HAIR ENTANGLE- MENT, BODY ENTRAPMENT, EVISCERATION AND/OR DEATH. The suction at a drain or outlet can cause: Limb Entrapment: When a limb is sucked or inserted into an opening resulting in a mechanical bind or swelling. This hazard is present when a drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked or not properly secured. Hair Entanglement: When the hair tangles or knots in the drain cover, trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the flow rating of the cover is too small for the pump or pumps. Body Entrapment: When a portion of the body is held against the drain cover trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken or the cover flow rating is not high enough for the pump or pumps. Evisceration/Disembowelment: When a person sits on an open pool (particularly a child wading pool) or spa outlet and suction is applied directly to the intestines, causing severe intestinal damage. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, loose, cracked, or not properly secured. ii ENGLISH WHISPERFLO High Performance Pump Installation and User s Guide

4 iii IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad (ON/OFF Switches, Timers and Automation Load Center) operation (startup, shut-down, or servicing) of any pump or IMPORTANT PUMP WARNING filter so the user does not place AND any portion SAFETY of his/her body INSTRUCTIONS Mechanical Entrapment: When jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle is caught in an opening of an outlet or drain cover. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked, or not properly secured. NOTE: ALL SUCTION PLUMBING MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES, STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES. TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF INJURY DUE TO SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD: A properly installed and secured ANSI/ASME A2.9.8 approved anti-entrapment suction cover must be used for each drain. Each suction cover must be installed at least three ( ) feet apart, as measured from the nearest point to nearest point. Regularly inspect all covers for cracks, damage and advanced weathering. If a cover becomes loose, cracked, damaged, broken or is missing, replace with an appropriate certified cover. Replace drain covers as necessary. Drain covers deteriorate over time due to exposure to sunlight and weather. Avoid getting hair, limbs or body in close proximity to any suction cover, pool drain or outlet. Disable suction outlets or reconfigure into return inlets. A clearly labeled emergency shut-off switch for the pump must be in an easily accessible, obvious place. Make sure users know where it is and how to use it in case of emergency. The Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) Pool and Spa Safety Act creates new requirements for owners and operators of commercial swimming pools and spas. Commercial pools or spas constructed on or after December 9, 2008, shall utilize: (A) A multiple main drain system without isolation capability with suction outlet covers that meet ASME/ANSI A2.9.8a Suction Fittings for Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs and either: (i) A safety vacuum release system (SVRS) meeting ASME/ANSI A2.9.7 Manufactured Safety Vacuum Release systems (SVRS) for Residential and Commercial Swimming Pool, Spa, Hot Tub, and Wading Pool Suction Systems and/or ASTM F287 Standard Specification for Manufactured Safety Vacuum Release Systems (SVRS) for Swimming pools, Spas and Hot Tubs or (ii) A properly designed and tested suction-limiting vent system or (iii) An automatic pump shut-off system. Commercial pools and spas constructed prior to December 9, 2008, with a single submerged suction outlet shall use a suction outlet cover that meets ASME/ANSI A2.9.8a and either: (A) A SVRS meeting ASME/ANSI A2.9.7 and/or ASTM F287, or (B) A properly designed and tested suction-limiting vent system, or (C) An automatic pump shut-off system, or (D) Disabled submerged outlets, or (E) Suction outlets shall be re-configured into return inlets. For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad (ON/OFF Switches, Timers and Automation Load Center) Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such as on/off switches, timers, and control systems, etc. to allow the operation (startup, shut-down, or servicing) of any pump or filter so the user does not place any portion of his/her body over or near the pump strainer lid, filter lid or valve closures. This installation should allow the user enough space to stand clear of the filter and pump during system start-up, shut down or servicing of the system filter. WHISPERFLO High Performance Pump Installation and User s Guide Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such as on/off switches, timers, and control systems, etc. to allow the over or near the pump strainer lid, filter lid or valve closures. This installation should allow the user enough space to stand clear of the filter and pump during system start-up, shut down or servicing of the system filter. HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: STAND CLEAR OF PUMP AND FILTER DURING START UP Circulation systems operate under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system (i.e. locking ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the pump housing cover filter lid and valves to violently separate which can result in severe personal injury or death. Filter tank lid and strainer cover must be properly secured to prevent violent separation. Stand clear of all circulation system equipment when turning on or starting up pump. Before servicing equipment, make note of the filter pressure. Be sure that all controls are set to ensure the system cannot inadvertently start during service. Turn off all power to the pump. IMPORTANT: Place filter manual air relief valve in the open position and wait for all pressure in the system to be relieved. Before starting the system, fully open the manual air relief valve and place all system valves in the open position to allow water to flow freely from the tank and back to the tank. Stand clear of all equipment and start the pump. IMPORTANT: Do not close filter manual air relief valve until all pressure has been discharged from the valve and a steady stream of water appears. Observe filter pressure gauge and be sure it is not higher than the pre-service condition. General Installation Information All work must be performed by a qualified service professional, and must conform to all national, state, and local codes. Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components. These instructions contain information for a variety of pump models and therefore some instructions may not apply to a specific model. All models are intended for use in swimming pool applications. The pump will function correctly only if it is properly sized to the specific application and properly installed. Pumps improperly sized or installed or used in applications other than for which the pump was intended can result in severe personal injury or death. These risks may include but not be limited to electric shock, fire, flooding, suction entrapment or severe injury or property damage caused by a structural failure of the pump or other system component. The pump can produce high levels of suction within the suction side of the plumbing system. These high levels of suction can pose a risk if a person comes within the close proximity of the suction openings. A person can be seriously injured by this high level of vacuum or may become trapped and drown. It is absolutely critical that the suction plumbing be installed in accordance with the latest national and local codes for swimming pools. Warnings and safety instructions for Pentair Aquatic Systems pumps and other related products are available at: or call (800) 8-7 for additional free copies of these instructions. Please refer to safetywarnings/ for warning and safety instructions related to this product. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

5 Location INSTALLATION Only a qualified plumbing professional should install the WhisperFlo High Performance Pump. Refer to Pump Warning And Safety Instructions on pages ii - iii for additional installation and safety information. Be sure the pump location meets the following requirements: Note: Do not install this pump within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa unless marked accordingly.. Install the pump as close to the pool or spa as possible. To reduce friction loss and improve efficiency, use short, direct suction piping returns. 2. Install a minimum of 5 feet (.52 meters) from the inside wall of the pool and spa. Canadian installations require a minimum of 9.8 feet ( meters) from pool water level.. Install the pump a minimum of feet (.9 meters) from the heater outlet. 4. Do not install the pump more than 0 feet ( meters) above the water level. 5. Install the pump in a well ventilated location protected from excessive moisture (i.e., rain gutter downspouts, sprinklers, etc.) 6. Install the pump with a rear clearance of at least inches (76.2 mm) so that the motor can be removed easily for maintenance and repair. Piping. For improved pool plumbing, it is recommended to use a larger pipe size. When installing the inlet and outlet fittings (male adaptors), use thread sealant. 2. Piping on the suction side of the pump should be the same or larger than the return line diameter.. Plumbing on the suction side of the pump should be as short as possible. 4. It is recommended that a valve, elbow or tee installed in the suction line should be no closer to the front of the pump than five (5) times the suction line pipe diameter Example: A 2 inch (50.8 mm) pipe requires a 0 inch (254 mm) straight run in front of the suction inlet of the pump. This will help the pump prime faster and last longer. ELBOW Fittings and Valves REAR CLEARANCE IN. (76.2 CM) MINIMUM Pump Rear Clearance 5 x SUCTION PIPE DIAMETER Recommended Piping IN. MINIMUM. Do not install 90 elbows directly into pump inlet. 2. Flooded suction systems should have gate valves installed on suction and discharge pipes for maintenance, however, the suction gate valve should be no closer than five times the suction pipe diameter as described in this section.. Use a check valve in the discharge line when using this pump for any application where there is significant height to the plumbing after the pump. 4. Be sure to install check valves when plumbing in parallel with another pump. This helps prevent reverse rotation of the impeller and motor.

6 2 RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. This pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified service professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property. Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to service people, pool users or others due to electric shock and/or property damage. Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump. Electrical Wiring Installation. Be sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off before wiring motor. 2. Be sure the supply line voltage matches the motor voltage listed on the motor plate (example 20 VAC or 5 VAC). If they do not match, permanent motor damage may occur.. Use strain relief and be sure all electrical connections are clean and tight. 4. Cut wires to the appropriate length so they don t overlap or touch when connected to the terminal board. 5. Permanently ground the motor using the green ground terminal located on the inside of the motor canopy or access plate, see Figure. Use the correct wire size and type specified by National Electrical Code. Make sure the ground wire is connected to an electrical service ground. 6. Bond the motor to the pool structure in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Use a solid No. 8 AWG or larger copper conductor. Run a wire from the external bonding to the pool bonding structure. 7. Connect the wire from the accessible bonding lug on the motor to all metal parts of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub structure and to all electrical equipment, metal conduit, and metal piping within 5 feet (.52 meters) of the inside walls of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub. For Canada, a 6 AWG or larger solid copper bonding conductor is required. 8. The pump should be permanently connected to either a circuit breaker, 2-pole timer or 2-pole relay. If AC power is supplied by a GFCI circuit breaker, use a dedicated circuit breaker that has no other electrical loads. Pentair offers 2-Pole 20 Amp GFCI breakers (P/N PA220GF) which offer 6 milliamp personnel protection while meeting 2008 to current NEC Standards for Pool Pumps. Note: When the pump is started and stopped by removing power with a relay or timer, a two-pole device should be used to apply and remove power to both POWER LINE TERMINALS. Ground Screw Figure.

7 MAINTENANCE DO NOT open the strainer pot if pump fails to prime or if pump has been operating without water in the strainer pot. Pumps operated in these circumstances may experience a build up of vapor pressure and may contain scalding hot water. Opening the pump may cause serious personal injury. In order to avoid the possibility of personal injury, make sure the suction and discharge valves are open and strainer pot temperature is cool to touch, then open with extreme caution. To prevent damage to the pump and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer and skimmer baskets regularly. You are responsible for determining when freezing conditions may occur. If freezing conditions are expected, take the following steps to reduce the risk of freeze damage. Freeze damage is not covered under warranty. To prevent freeze damage, follow the procedures below: Cleaning the Pump Strainer Basket. Turn off the pump at the circuit breaker. 2. Relieve pressure in the system by allowing the water to cool.. Gently tap the clamp in a counter-clockwise direction to remove the clamp and lid. 4. Remove debris and rinse out the basket. Replace the basket if it is cracked. 5. Put the basket back into the housing. Be sure to align the notch in the bottom of the basket with the rib in the bottom of the volute. 6. Fill the pump pot and volute up to the inlet port with water. 7. Clean the cover, O-ring, and sealing surface of the pump pot. Note: It is important to keep the lid O-ring clean and well lubricated. 8. Reinstall the lid by placing the lid on the pot. Be sure the lid O-ring is properly placed. Seat the clamp and lid on the pump then turn clockwise until the handles are horizontal. 9. Turn the power ON at the house circuit breaker. Reset the pool time clock to the correct time. 0. Open the High Flow manual air relief valve on top of the filter.. Stand clear of the filter. Start the pump. 2. Bleed air from the filter until a steady stream of water comes out. Close the High Flow Manual Air Relief Valve. THIS SYSTEM OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. When any part of the circulating system (e.g., Lock Ring, Pump, Filter, Valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the lid to separate which can result in serious injury, death, or property damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow above instructions.. Shut off electrical power for the pump at the circuit breaker. 2. Drain the water out of the pump housing by removing the two thumb-twist drain plugs from the housing. Store the plugs in the pump basket.. Cover the motor to protect it from severe rain, snow and ice. Note: Do not wrap motor with plastic or other air tight materials during winter storage. The motor may be covered during a storm, winter storage, etc., but never when operating or expecting operation. In mild climate areas, when temporary freezing conditions may occur, run your filtering equipment all night to prevent freezing. Clamp, pot Lid O-Ring Strainer Basket Volute Pot Drain Plugs Strainer Pot Assembly WHISPERFLO High Performance Pump Installation and User s Guide ESPAÑOL Winterizing The pump strainer basket (or strainer pot, hair and lint pot ), is located in front of the volute. Inside the chamber is the basket which must be kept clean of leaves and debris at all times. View basket through the See Through Lid to inspect for leaves and debris. Regardless of the length of time between filter cleaning, it is most important to visually inspect the basket at least once a week. A dirty basket will reduce the efficiency of the filter and heater and also put an abnormal stress on the pump motor which would result in a costly repair bill. ENGLISH Pump Strainer Basket

8 4 SERVICING Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker and disconnect the communication cable before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to service people, users or others due to electric shock. Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump. DO NOT open the strainer pot if pump fails to prime or if pump has been operating without water in the strainer pot. Pumps operated in these circumstances may experience a build up of vapor pressure and may contain scalding hot water. Opening the pump may cause serious personal injury. In order to avoid the possibility of personal injury, make sure the suction and discharge valves are open and strainer pot temperature is cool to touch, then open with extreme caution. Be sure not to scratch or mar the polished shaft seal faces; seal will leak if faces are damaged. The polished and lapped faces of the seal could be damaged if not handled with care. Care of Electric Motor Protect from heat. Shade the motor from the sun. 2. Any enclosure must be well ventilated to prevent overheating.. Provide ample cross ventilation. Protect against dirt. Protect from any foreign matter or splashing water. 2. Do not store (or spill) chemicals on or near the motor.. Protect from any foreign matter or splashing water. 4. Avoid sweeping or stirring up dust near the motor while it is operating. 5. If a motor has been damaged by dirt it voids the motor warranty. 6. Clean the lid and clamp, O-ring, and sealing surface of the pump pot. Protect against moisture. Protect from splashing or sprayed water. 2. Protect from extreme weather..

9 5 DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start leaking. If this occurs, the damaged seal must be replaced. ALWAYS maintain proper water level. If the water level falls below the suction port, the pump will draw air through the suction port, losing the prime and causing the pump to run dry, resulting in a damaged seal. Continued operation in this manner could cause a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump case, impeller and seal and may cause property damage and personal injury. Pump Reassembly. When installing the replacement shaft seal, use silicone sealant on the metal portion before pressing into the seal plate, being careful to keep off of the seal face. Ensure the seal is fully seated and allow 24 hours for sealant to cure. (Complete seal plate w/seal replacement kit available, P/N 5020/500.) 2. Before installing the ceramic section of the seal into the impeller, be sure the impeller is clean. Use a light density soap and water to seal the seal. Press the seal into the impeller with your thumbs and wipe off the ceramic and carbon faces with a clean cloth.. Remount the seal plate to the motor by installing bolts in an X pattern and tightening to 70 in-lbs. 4. Clean the motor shaft thread and the impeller insert, then screw the impeller onto the motor shaft. 5. Screw in the impeller lock screw (counter-clockwise and tighten to 25 in-lbs. while holding the motor shaft with wrench). 6. Remount the diffuser onto the seal plate. Make sure the plastic pins and holding screw inserts are aligned. 7. Grease the diffuser O-ring and seal plate gasket. 8. Grease the bolt threads, assemble the motor subassembly to the strainer pot-pump body by using the two through bolts for proper alignment. Do not tighten the through bolts until all 6 bolts are in place and finger tightened. Torque in a cross pattern to 0 in-lbs. 9. Fill the pump with water. 0. Reinstall the pump lid and plastic clamp; see the next section, Restart Instructions.. Reprime the system. SEAL PLATE Restart Instructions If pump is installed below the water level of the pool, close return and suction lines prior to opening hair and lint pot on pump. Make sure to re-open valves prior to operating. Priming the Pump The pump strainer pot must be filled with water before the pump is initially started. Follow these steps to prime the pump:. Remove the pump lid plastic clamp. Remove the pump lid. 2. Fill the pump strainer pot with water.. Reassemble the pump cover and plastic clamp onto the strainer pot. The pump is now ready to prime. 4. Open the air release valve on the filter, and stand clear of the filter. 5. Turn on the switch or time clock. 6. When water comes out of the air release valve, close the valve. The system should now be free of air and recirculating water to and from the pool. 7.

PELIGRO PELIGRO DE TRAMPA DE SUCCIÓN: MANTÉNGASE ALEJADO DEL DRENAJE PRINCIPAL Y DE TODAS LAS SALIDAS DE SUCCIÓN! Cuando instale y utilice este equipo eléctrico, siempre debe respetar precauciones de seguridad básicas, incluyendo las siguientes: No permita que los niños utilicen este producto. Riesgo de choque eléctrico. Conecte sólo a un circuito eléctrico protegido por un interruptor de circuito con descarga a tierra (GFCI). Comuníquese con un electricista calificado si no puede verificar que el circuito esté protegido por un interruptor GFCI. Conecte sólo a un circuito eléctrico protegido por un interruptor de circuito con descarga a tierra (GFCI). Este GCFI debe ser provisto por el instalador y debe ser probado de manera rutinaria. Para probar el GFCI presione el botón de prueba. El GFCI debería interrumpir la energía eléctrica. Presione el botón de reinicio. Debería restaurar la energía. Si el GFCI no funciona de esta manera, el GFCI tiene una falla. Si el GFCI interrumpe la energía a la bomba sin que se presione el botón de prueba, hay presencia de corriente de tierra, indicando la posibilidad de un choque eléctrico. No utilice esta bomba. Desconecte la bomba y haga que un representante de servicio técnico calificado corrija el problema antes de utilizar el equipo. Esta bomba se utiliza para piscinas permanentes y también puede ser utilizada en jacuzzis o spa si está indicado. No la utilice con piscinas desmontables. Una piscina con instalación permanente es una piscina construida en el suelo o en una base de manera que no puede ser desmontada. Una piscina desmontable está construida de manera que puede ser fácilmente desmontable para su almacenamiento y rearmada de acuerdo a su formato original. Advertencias generales Nunca abra el interior de la caja del motor. Hay un banco capacitor que admite una carga de hasta 20 VCA incluso cuando la unidad no tenga energía eléctrica. La bomba del spa no es sumergible. La bomba puede trabajar con flujos máximos altos; tenga cuidado cuando realice la instalación y programación para limitar el potencial de rendimiento de las bombas con equipos antiguos o de origen desconocido. Los requisitos de códigos para la conexión eléctrica difieren de un estado a otro. Instale los equipos de acuerdo con el Código Eléctrico Nacional y todos los códigos y ordenanzas locales aplicables. LA BOMBA PRODUCE ALTOS NIVELES DE SUCCIÓN Y CREA UN FUERTE VACÍO EN EL DRENAJE PRINCIPAL EN LA BASE DEL CUERPO DE AGUA. ESTA SUCCIÓN ES TAN FUERTE QUE PUEDE ATRAPAR A ADULTOS O NIÑOS DEBAJO DEL AGUA SI SE ACERCAN DEMASIADO AL DRENAJE O SI HAY ALGUNA PARTE DE LA CUBIERTA O PARRILLA DEL DRENAJE SUELTA O AVERIADA. EL USO DE CUBIERTAS NO APROBADAS O PERMITIR EL USO DE UN SISTEMA DE ACUICULTURA CUANDO FALTAN CUBIERTAS, SE ENCUENTRAN FRACTURADAS O AVERIADAS PUEDE TENER COMO RESULTADO EL ATRAPAMIENTO DEL CUERPO O DE UN MIEMBRO, ENREDO DEL CABELLO, ATRAPAMIENTO DEL CUERPO, DESTRIPAMIENTO Y/O LA MUERTE. La sección en el drenaje o salida puede causar: Atrapamiento de miembros: Cuando se succiona un miembro o éste es insertado en una apertura que tiene como resultado una obstrucción mecánica o hinchazón. Este riesgo está presente cuando falta una cubierta del drenaje, o está rota, suelta, quebrada o no está bien asegurada. Enredo del cabello: Cuando el cabello se enreda o se anuda en la cubierta del drenaje, atrapando al nadador debajo del agua. Este riesgo está presente cuando la velocidad del flujo de la cubierta es demasiado baja para la o las bombas. Atrapamiento corporal: Cuando una porción del cuerpo queda contra la cubierta del drenaje y atrapa al nadador debajo del agua. Este riesgo existe cuando falta la cubierta del drenaje, cuando ésta está quebrada o cuando la velocidad de flujo de la cubierta no es lo suficientemente alta para la o las bombas. Destripamiento: Cuando una persona está sentada en una piscina abierta (especialmente una piscina poco profunda para niños) o salida de un spa y se aplica la succión directamente a los intestinos, causando un daño intestinal severo. Este riesgo está presente cuando falta una cubierta del drenaje, o está suelta, quebrada o no está bien asegurada. Atrapamiento mecánico: Cuando quedan atrapados en una entrada o en la cubierta del drenaje objetos tales como: joyas, trajes de baño, accesorios para el cabello, dedos de la mano o del pie o nudillos. Este riesgo está presente cuando falta la cubierta del drenaje, o está rota, suelta, quebrada o no está bien asegurada. NOTA: LA INSTALACIÓN DE PLOMERÍA DE SUCCIÓN DEBE SER INSTALADA DE ACUERDO CON LOS CÓDIGOS, ESTÁNDARES Y PAUTAS NACIONALES Y LOCALES MÁS ACTUALIZADOS. Guía de instalatión y del usuario de la bomba de alto rendimiento WHISPERFLO

17 INSTRUCCIONES Y ADVERTENCIAS DE SEGURIDAD IMPORTANTES DE LA BOMBA PARA MINIMIZAR EL RIESGO DE LESIONES DEBIDO AL PELIGRO DE ATRAPAMIENTO POR SUCCIÓN: Para cada drenaje debe utilizarse una cubierta de succión anti-atrapamiento aprobada de acuerdo a ANSI/ASME A2.9.8 que debe estar correctamente instalada y asegurada. Cada cubierta de succión debe estar instalada al menos a tres pies (0,9 m) de distancia, medidos entre los 2 puntos más cercanos. Inspecciones regularmente todas las cubiertas para controlar que no existan quebraduras, daños o erosión por exposición a la intemperie. Si falta una cubierta o si ésta se afloja, quiebra, daña o rompe, reemplácela con una cubierta certificada adecuada. Reemplace las cubiertas de drenaje cuando sea necesario. Las cubiertas de drenaje se deterioran con el tiempo debido a la exposición al sol y a la intemperie. Evite que el cabello, los miembros o el cuerpo estén próximos a cualquier cubierta de succión, drenaje de la piscina o salida. Desactive las salidas de succión reconfigure las entradas de retorno. Debe existir un interruptor de emergencia para la bomba en un lugar fácilmente accesible y visible. Asegúrese que de los usuarios conozcan dónde está y sepan cómo usarla en caso de emergencia. La ley de seguridad para piscinas y spa Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) crea nuevos requisitos para los dueños y operadores de piscinas y spa comerciales. Las piscinas y spa comerciales construidos después del 9 de diciembre de 2008 deben utilizar: (A) Un sistema de drenaje principal múltiple sin aislación con cubiertas de salida de succión que cumplan con las características ASME/ANSI A2.9.8a para accesorios de succión en piscinas, piscinas poco profundas para niños, spas y jacuzzis ya sea: (i) Un sistema de seguridad de alivio de vacío (SVRS) que cumpla con la normativa ASME/ANSI A2.9.7 Manufactured Safety Vacuum Release systems (SVRS) para sistemas de succión en piscinas residenciales y comerciales, spa, jacuzzis y piscinas poco profundas para niños, y/o especificaciones estándar ASTM F287 para Manufactured Safety Vacuum Release Systems (SVRS) en piscinas, spa y jacuzzis o (ii) un sistema de ventilación bien diseñado y con un sistema probado de limitación de succión (iii) un sistema de apagado automático de bomba Las piscinas o spa comerciales construidos con anterioridad al 9 de diciembre de 2008 con una salida de succión sumergida deben utilizar una salida de succión que cumpla con ASME/ANSI A2.9.8a y: (A) un SVRS que cumpla con los requisitos ASME/ANSI A2.9.7 y/o ASTM F287, o bien (ii) un sistema de ventilación bien diseñado y con un sistema probado de limitación de succión o bien (iii) un sistema de apagado automático de bomba, o (D) salidas sumergidas desactivadas, o (E) Salidas de succión que deben ser reconfiguradas como entradas de retorno. Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such as on/off switches, timers, and control systems, etc. to allow the operation (startup, shut-down, or servicing) of any pump or filter so the user does not place any portion of his/her body over or near the pump strainer lid, filter lid or valve closures. This installation should allow the user enough space to stand clear of the filter and pump during system start-up, shut down or servicing of the system filter. Para la instalación de controles eléctricos en la superficie de apoyo del equipo (interruptores ENCENDIDO/APAGADO, relojes o centro de carga automática) Instale todos los controles eléctricos en la superficie de apoyo del equipo, como interruptores de encendido/ apagado y sistemas de control, etc. para permitir el funcionamiento (arranque, apagado o servicio) de cualquier bomba o filtro de manera que el usuario no coloque ninguna porción de su cuerpo por encima o cerca de la tapa del filtro de la bomba, la tapa del filtro o el cierre de la válvula. Esta instalación debería permitirle al usuario utilizar espacio suficiente para permanecer alejado del filtro y la bomba durante el arranque, apagado o servicio del filtro del sistema. PRESIÓN PELIGROSA: MANTÉNGASE ALEJADO PELIGRO DE LA BOMBA Y FILTRO DURANTE EL ARRANQUE Los sistemas de circulación operan bajo alta presión. Cuando cualquier parte del sistema de circulación (es decir anillo de seguridad, bomba, filtro y válvulas, etc) está siendo controlado por el servicio técnico, es posible que ingrese aire al sistema y que éste se presurice. El aire presurizado puede provocar que las válvulas y la tapa del filtro de la cubierta de la caja de la bomba se separen violentamente lo cual puede tener como resultado lesiones graves o la muerte. La tapa del tanque del filtro y la cubierta del filtro deben estar correctamente aseguradas para evitar una separación violenta. Manténgase alejado del equipo del sistema de circulación cuando encienda o arranque la bomba. Antes de realizar el servicio al equipo, tome nota de la presión del filtro. Asegúrese de que se realicen todos los controles para asegurar que el sistema no arranque sin aviso durante el servicio técnico. Desconecte la energía a la bomba. IMPORTANTE: Coloque la válvula de alivio de aire manual del filtro en posición abierta y espere que se libere la presión del sistema. Antes de iniciar el sistema, abra totalmente la válvula de liberación de aire manual y ubique todas las válvulas del sistema en posición "abierto" para permitir que el agua fluya libremente desde y hacia el tanque. Aléjese de los equipos y arranque la bomba. IMPORTANTE: No cierre la válvula de alivio de aire manual del filtro hasta que se haya descargado la totalidad de la presión de la válvula y aparezca un chorro de agua constante. Observe el indicador de presión del filtro y asegúrese de que no es más alto que el estado anterior al servicio. Información general para la instalación La instalación y el servicio deben ser efectuados por un profesional de servicio calificado, y deben cumplir con todos los códigos nacionales, estatales y locales. En la instalación se debe colocar un drenaje en el compartimiento para los componentes eléctricos. Estas instrucciones contienen información para una variedad de modelos de bombas y por lo tanto algunas instrucciones pueden no aplicarse a un modelo específico. Todos los modelos deben ser utilizados en aplicaciones de piscinas. La bomba funcionará correctamente sólo si tiene el tamaño adecuado para la aplicación específica y si está correctamente instalada. Las bombas de tamaño incorrecto o instaladas de manera incorrecta o utilizadas en aplicaciones diferentes a aquellas para las cuales la bomba fue diseñada pueden tener como resultado daños personales severos o la muerte. Estos riesgos incluyen pero no se limitan a choque eléctrico, incendio, inundación, succión, atrapamiento, lesiones graves o daño a la propiedad causados por una falla estructural de la bomba u otro componente del sistema. La bomba puede producir niveles altos de succión dentro del lado de succión del sistema de plomería. Estos altos niveles de succión pueden implicar un riesgo si una persona se acerca demasiado a los orificios de succión. Este alto nivel de vacío puede causar daños severos en personas, quienes también podrían quedar atrapadas y ahogarse. Es de primordial importancia que el sistema de plomería sea instalado de acuerdo a los más recientes códigos nacionales y locales para las aplicaciones de piscinas.
